Good morning Ciaran
I have placed an HTML and a menu module in sidecol-b.
Could you point me to where in the css files I can edit:
a) the background colour
b) the colour, weight etc of the text
c) put in border around the module.
I have a "suck it and see" approach to CSS; usually I get there but these requirements are defeating me!
Glad of any pointers you can give me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Godfrey

Try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters (edit where needed)...


[code type=css].sidecol_block .module {
background-color: #555555;
border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
font-weight: bold;
}[/code]

Good afternoon Ciaran

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I have tried what you suggested (pics attached. Sadly it did not make the change; the only change I could detect was that in IE, Firefox and Safari the menu item changed to the shadowed text but even that did not happen in Chrome.
Is there anything else I can try?
Best wishes

Sorry to be a nuisance. I did then think and retyped the code rather than copy and paste. That made a difference - I now get the background colour and the border as I want - the headings - Urgent News and Links are still in white so don't show - I would like them as #000000; the menu item under Links is not sharp black #000000 which I would prefer.

Hi Godfrey

Would you have a URL to an example of your module?

Try also adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters..


[code type=css].sidecol_block h3, .sidecol_block a {
color: #000000 !important;
}[/code]

Thank you for all this advice.
Your level of service is excellent; I am glad I have bought one of your templates.
Even at my advanced age of 69 I really should set to and learn CSS properly so that I could do some of these things myself!

Go well
